Good to know
Before you set off
- The last stretch
- We are inside the Knuckles range, which is the point, and it means the final part of the drive is a mountain road.
- The climate
- Cool mountain air. The rooms have no air conditioning, because up here it is not needed.
- Arrive any day
- Retreats run on a rolling basis: choose your dates and the length of your stay, from two nights.
- Staying connected
- Wifi throughout the estate, and unlimited tea and coffee, which we roast ourselves.
The last stretch
The road climbs, the air cools, and the lake appears below you.
Inside the Knuckles Conservation Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
